Bright and Beautiful

The simple little white dress can work wonders and this new pleated number from L'Agence, exclusively available at Atelier-To-Go, is just made for showing off a wonderful tan and even more wonderful accessories.

While it would look amazing with simple metallics or even bold monochrome accents, I would wear with a whole lot of neon for a really fresh take on the little white dress. 

1. Senso is an affordable Australian footwear brand that has been on my radar for a few months now. These dazzling yellow strappies are sure to attract many admiring glances over the summer months. These XIXI II shoes retail for $229 (AUD) and you can find UK stockists of Senso here.

2. My go-to girl when on the hunt for new fashion labels, Atelier-To-Go's retail director tipped me off about KlearKlutch a while back, just before this simple little number made it's way into all the top glossies. If you've been reading the blog recently you'll know that i'm experiencing a certain fondness for perspex clutch bags and this one is the pièce du résistance. It's big enough to fit all manner of odds and ends in, but make sure they do the rest of your outfit justice. You can pre-order this in-demand clutch here for £59.99.

3. Aah another day, another Chanel nail polish that I need in my life. My lovely mother received the limited edition Fracas shade for Mothers Day from my younger sister and was sweet enough to let me pinch it. A juicy shade of pink that flatters all skin tones with a touch of coral and shimmer, Fracas is a truly delicious shade for summer and has already got a fair few fans. Yes, I have a million and one nail polishes, but this one simply must join the collection. You can buy it online from Selfridges for £18.

4. Ooh la L'Agence ! Say hello to the star piece from Atelier-To-Go's latest curated collection from L'Agence. The minute I laid eyes on this luxurious ivory dress I fell a little bit in love. It is demure but still sexy with an exposed back and suggestive split at the front. With flattering pleating down the front and a floaty skirt falling just on the knee, this is a great investment piece.

Someone help me resist the urge to buy: i'm weak.

5. I adore Shourouk for showstopping neon jewellery, and these bright orange earrings are a new favourite. The bodice detailing on this L'Agence dress means there is simply no need for a necklace, but earrings? That's a different story!

6. A little finishing touch to keep all things bright and beautiful- these ASOS bracelets are such a great find. I won't tell anyone they are not Dannijo if you dont! They are £18 here. 

 

Instant Update: Coral Nails

While pastel and neon nails are all the rage, they aren't always the most flattering on all skintones. A new, equally fashionable colour to try is coral. It is zesty and bright and great for this Spring sunshine, but it actually flatters most skintones! I love the Nails Inc. one, my choice for a recent manicure, but when it started to chip after TWO DAYS (not impressed, sorry, really not!) I bought the cheaper Barry M colour for top ups and it was just as good, though the consistency is not as thick and thus requires more coats.

Give it a try for a mid-week pick-me-up!

Chanel's Lucky Charms

The new beauty range by Chanel is certainly a little bit tempting. All glossy black packaging and delicate gold. Celebrating the launch of the new Chanel boutique in Las Vegas, the limited edition collection is inspired by the glitz of Las Vegas. However, it is not as garish as it may sound! Try the gold nail polish to ease in, as it will look fabulous with brights or neutrals. Alternately, slick on the sheer lipstick for a glossy lip that is soft and elegant with a warm tone to pep up tired winter skin.

My pick, however, has to be the iridescent powder compact, which I have just fallen madly in love with. The peachy shades are perfect to add a rosy blush, and the sandy gold highlighters are just the thing to make your daytime look that little bit prettier. 

The range will launch this Thursday (24th) in Chanel boutiques, Selfridges (London and Manchester), Harrods, Fenwick (Newcastle) and House of Fraser (Glasgow). It will surely go pretty fast, so make sure you get your hands on Chanel's little lucky charms.
